[@1AAuto]

+Ron Childres Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@QuantumRift]

Thank you for video. It was very helpful. I did my own Envoy brakes last week...I had to get the front rotors turned as clips on the pads had gotten into the rotors. However, on the rear, it was piece of cake.

[@1AAuto]

+QuantumRift We're glad the video helped you out. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@paulwinegarner6039]

Two things u forgot, ones kinda important. The important one is you should always remove the cap on your master cylinder before prying your calipers back. And second is you should only remove the bottom caliper screw all the way and only loosen the top one, that way you can just flip up the caliper to remove the pads- this way caliper is secured and not hanging by the brake line. Learned this from master tech ( Mercedes-Benz)

[@awesomeskatevids]

But if you only unbolt the one, the caliper never comes all the way off, the bracket cant be removed fully as easily, and the rotor, and more wouldve been in the way while he was swinging the sledge? i think youre speaking more for a brake pad job, not a whole rotor replacement or even a caliper replacement.

[@johnsupler2380]

thanks a million, I did put my anti rattle springs in upside down (they fit so well), back to the video. I'll be ordering some parts for my 92 camry soon.

[@Godzillafan-t2p]

[@flyboy2610]

One thing that I would like to add: The front brake pads and rotors for an extended wheelbase vehicle are NOT the same as those for a standard wheelbase vehicle! Make sure you get the right parts for the wheelbase you have!

[@kingjr1uzfe387]

love the videos man good job guys at 1aauto

[@fkwidit8552]

Question: replaced both calipers on front and let the master cylinder run dry and now I can’t get any bleeding from both fronts. Did old rain bleeding and pressure bleeding 04 gmc envoy xl v6 HELP

[@im2tall1]

I purchased new slide pins for the caliper brackets up front. The new pins aren't both solid,one has the rubber bushing on the tip,and the other is solid! What i'm trying to figure out is,does the pin with the bushing on the tip go on the front/lower or rear/upper hole in the bracket?

[@1AAuto]

+im2tall1 Thank you for checking us out. We are unsure of why both pins aren't the same as it should be identifiable to the exact position. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything further. 1aauto.com 1-888-844-3393

[@im2tall1]

I found it the solid pin goes in the leading edge,and the bushed pin goes in the trailing! I found some info on the SS forum,believe it or not a Prius chat,and last but not least a Honda forum.Some calipers are forward mounted like the Trailblazer,and some are mounted towards the rear of the caliper like a Corvette,or Honda,but the same rule applies to all vehicles apparently,the solid pin goes toward the front(Leading),and the bushed pin goes toward rear(Trailing). This info appears to be very scarce and few and far between!

[@regionvoices6607]

Make sure the master cylinder won't over flow with brake fluid when the caliper piston is compressed

[@1AAuto]

+Regionvoices Thanks for the feedback!

[@driftersden4439]

I have a 2004 GMC Envoy wanted to change the passenger side speed sensor but had a problem getting the bolt out, could you tell me the right size tried both standard & metric Allen wrenches, the #5mm was close but kept slipping

[@captain77]

I purchased the rotor and pad kit from you....no mention of the brake fluid to be flushed/bled, is that needed and if so how do I do that?

[@1AAuto]

Usually you do not need to bleed the brakes when performing a brake job unless the brakes are soft or do not feel right once the brakes have been changed. 1aauto.com

[@CorvetteTrev]

My caliper bolts 🔩 on the exact car were smaller than a 17mm, I'm guessing a 15mm, but an 18mm on the inside (?)

[@josieemariee2577]

What size roter do I use for my 2002 GMC envoy

[@1AAuto]

+Josiee Mariee Thank you for the inquiry. The rotor size for the 2002 should be about 12 inches in diameter.

[@CENA6535]

Great video, thank you.

[@rogdut4896]

Mine is a 2005 6valve and 14mm bolt

[@85dolfo]

the back screws for the rotors won't budge, I've tried everything

[@1AAuto]

+85dolfo Thank you for checking us out. We are sorry to hear of the issue you are experiencing. Some rear rotors get rusted in, and require a ton of force and weight to budge. Keep trying and keep using PB Blast or similar to complete. 1aauto.com

[@williamz3153]

Use a ratchet and proper socket. Grab a metal pipe and slide it over your ratchet handle . put some body weight into it

[@keithdee44]
